To date, Keys has made eleven albums under his own name. One of the most radiant is his debut,Shawn-Neeq, originally issued in 1973. The album came in the wake of the soul jazz era when Miles Davis's startling shift into a Sly Stone-informed electric-jazz swept over musicians and hip listeners like a tsunami. Thanks to the Black Jazz label, Keys did his part in delivering good Miles-influenced jazz-funk to record buyers...music that has aged surprisingly well.
